I was having issues with the provided latch on the "Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Wheel Pro" model being too stiff in both PLA and PETG. The model did not allow remixing, so I recreated the latch model and included the following features:

  • Curved lip on both sides of the latch for easier insertion/better joy-con grip
  • Thinner latch flap to allow for more flexibility during insertion, but still thick enough to keep the joycon in place
  • Improved width to allow for easier latch insertion into the wheel body

So far I have had no issues with the latch breaking. Please let me know if this works for you or if something needs to change. I've included the .stp file for anyone wanting to remix it.
